This inspection covered the entire range of coastal hazard zones within Yeosu, including Dolsan Jinmo District and Yi Sun-sin Square, which are planned to be the main venues of the Expo.
The joint inspection team focused on inspecting the management status of coastal hazard zones, checking for defects in safety facilities such as life-saving equipment, the visibility of hazard warning signs, nighttime lighting facilities, and fall prevention installations.
In particular, in the Dolsan Jinmo District area, where large crowds are expected to gather during the Expo, the team concentrated on fall accident prevention measures for areas adjacent to the sea that are considered hazardous.
The team carefully identified sections where additional life-saving equipment and hazard warning signs are needed, while also replacing outdated safety signs and checking the condition of life rings and ropes at locations such as Jongpo Marine Park.
